Key Storylines to Watch
- Pitching Form: The Reds will give the ball to their best starting pitcher for this game. Nick Lodolo is 8-6 and has a 3.08 ERA on the season. He faces a strong starter for the Dodgers in Tyler Glasnow. Glasnow is 1-1 with a 2.75 ERA and has 46 strikeouts in just 36 innings of work.
- Bullpen Usage: Neither bullpen was bad in Monday’s series opener between these teams. The Reds have a better bullpen ERA by a decent margin and that could make things more interesting in this contest.
- Team Momentum: The Dodgers snapped a two-game losing streak by beating Cincinnati on Monday. The Reds have won four of their last five despite the loss to the Dodgers.

Final Thoughts
If Nick Lodolo was going up against the majority of the Dodgers rotation in this game, I would give the Reds the upper hand. But Lodolo is matched up with Tyler Glasnow and I don’t see that working out favorably for the Reds. I expect the superior lineup of the Dodgers to make the difference in this game with a mostly even pitching matchup. Los Angeles should win a second straight in Cincinnati.
